Who’s NOT? (hot)

Marcos Alonso – Chelsea [£7.1m]

While all the talk has been about the flying starts of the Manchester clubs, Chelsea have continued to stay within touching distance.

However, Chelsea’s Gameweek 7 opponents, Manchester City, are currently averaging over 3 goals per game – so only a brave (mad-man) would leave a Chelsea defender in their team for this Gameweek – particularly one who carries a whopping £7.1m price tag.

City and Chelsea have conceded just seven Premier League goals between them so far, so, granted, this fixture may not prove to be the goal-fest that many will be anticipating.

But why take that chance? Especially when transferring Alonso out would enable FPL bosses to take their pick from any other defender, and still have cash left over.

My strong advice for Gameweek 7 would be to remove any Chelsea defenders you may have, and replace them with either Manchester United’s Antonio Valencia, or possibly take a punt on Man City’s Danilo.

Gabriel Jesus – Manchester City [£10.5m]

Staying with Manchester City, the young Brazilian forward remains a rather enigmatic FPL figure, supplying goals aplenty – albeit at a high cost – whilst drifting in and out of favour in Pep Guardiola’s side. So, here’s why Jesus is not your messiah for Gameweek 7:

The former Palmeiras man is yet to complete a full 90 minutes in the Premier League this season, and was left out completely in Gameweek 6 as City thrashed Palace – a Gameweek that promised so much for Jesus owners, but delivered nothing.

Furthermore, there are no guarantees whatsoever that he will start, let alone score, against Chelsea in Gameweek 7, and there’s a host of strikers bang in-form with far easier fixtures.

If you’re a Jesus owner, a straight-swap for Arsenal’s Alexandre Lacazette is an absolute no-brainer for Gameweek 7.

The Gunners’ record signing has scored in every home game so far, including a brace in their Gameweek 6 victory over West Brom.
